When small ponds disappear in the summer where does the water go?

Ponds are usually formed in hollows where rain water gathers. There is no stream in or out, so the water level depends on whether it has been wet or dry for sometime previously. Obviously, if it hasn't rained for a long time, the water level will drop and the pond dry out!

In the spring many frogs lay their eggs in ponds that dry up in the summer What advantages does metamorphosis provide in such a situation?
All of our amphibians lay their eggs in water. Most frogs, toads and salamanders like to lay their eggs in small ponds where there are no fish to eat the eggs or young. If the young amphibians grow and change to adult shape quickly, the eggs can be laid in ponds that dry up by late summer. So some amphibians breed in ponds that fill with water from melting snow in spring or heavy rains in summer. They can live in places where there are no ponds or other water for part of the year.

Can you put plecostomus fish in an outdoor summer water fountain?
We have kept 2 or more outside in our ponds for the last several years...we have 5 small waterfalls going. They do keep the our ponds a lot cleaner...they really grow fast though and can get pretty big just over the summer... We do bring them in the winter after leaving one out over the winter it died. Hope this helps. Virginia
